The Concept
This plugin changes how you interact with the most common block in the game. Every time you mine a block of dirt, you have a chance to get high value loot or trigger a dangerous trap. It is designed to be a survival challenge where the rewards get better as you progress.
How it Works
The system is based on four tiers of custom shovels. You start with a basic wooden shovel and work your way up to netherite. Each tier increases your chances of finding rare items and decreases the likelihood of common junk. However, as the loot gets better, the traps become more frequent and more lethal.
Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Custom Shovels | Four distinct levels of shovels to craft and use. |
| Tiered Loot | From basic survival supplies to rare end game materials. |
| Dangerous Traps | Explosions, hostile mobs, or heavy falling objects. |
| Progression | Better tools provide better loot but carry higher risk. |
Crafting Recipes
Use a standard crafting table to create your tools. The recipes follow the standard shovel pattern but apply custom logic to the finished item.
| Shovel Tier | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| Iron OP Shovel | 1 Iron Ingot + 2 Sticks |
| Gold OP Shovel | 1 Gold Ingot + 2 Sticks |
| Diamond OP Shovel | 1 Diamond + 2 Sticks |
| Netherite OP Shovel | 1 Netherite Ingot + 2 Sticks |
